List of "good" apps - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

My list from a few other threads, but very relevant here since everyone is probably wondering what "app" to get.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AnAJoa0-ynONdGJiVDRSQ0p4VGtCaklESmtEbkJzNUE
edit: you guys can add to it ^_^

Great list, a few I couldn't live without:
Badass Battery, 4.7
Mobi Calculator, 4.8
FX File Explorer, 4.7
N7 Player, 4.7
Gtasks, 4.5
DIGI Clock Widget, 4.6
Palmary Weather, 4.5
GasBuddy, 4.6
YouAreHere, 4.7
Navfree, 3.8
Widgetsoid2, 4.6

I've found some of the widgets by this dev are excellent and he supports them very well if you mail him.
The Pure Grid calendar widget has options for tablet size widgets, multiple calendars, colour coding etc.
Also imho HDR Camera+ should be up there with ZoomFX
OP - amazing list!

That is a very clean and comprehensive list of apps you have OP. Thanks for posting... I am definitely going to try some of them out.

Has anyone tried Autodesk Sketchbook Pro on the N7?

Here's my Android tablet list of "best of breed" apps:
GTasks - syncs with Google Notes, has reminders, great widgets. Augments my calendar for many things. Free.
Dark Knight - good tablet chess app. Free+no ads.
AndroXplorer - first-rate file explorer with CIFS support. Free (minor advert), but I bought Pro with my Play credit. Better than all the others I've tried and has proper tablet interface.
SuperSU - fine-grained control of root permissions. Free+no ads, Pro has some sweet features, bought it.
AdAway - prevents ads from even downloading. Probably the biggest performance booster you can get. Free, no ads. This is one of the killer apps that will hook you on Android.
System Tuner - you won't believe the crap that starts up automatically. Fix it with this free app (minor ads). Pro is worth it.
AnkiDroid - Can't believe it's free w/o ads. Flashcards app to study nearly anything, many study decks available. Better than the $25 Anki iPad app which I bought.
Cool Reader - ebook reader, lots of useful features. Free and ad-free.
Aldiko Pro - slick reader, works with most formats, worth the $3.
Apps I'd like but which don't work yet:
Moon+ Reader (incl Pro) is broken on Jelly Bean, doesn't show text. When it works I'll buy Pro again.
Encore Learning Platform - free, no-ads, flashcards app.

If I could have clicked the "Thanks" icon 10 times for supplying us with this great database I would have. But I couldn't so THANK YOU X 10!

I was able to add a few in.

So, for some reason I can only pull this doc up at work. Now my problem is I can see where it's seperated into sections, but the apps aren't organized into their respective sections, they are in alphabetical order. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Josh

Say goodbye to fax machines!

1. Power Toggles - This is simply the best toggle app around. Able to toggle lots of main features.
2. Picsay Pro - This is a brilliant photo editor, but limited compared to some others. My personal favourite.
3. Rotation Locker - WYSIWYG. It locks your screen to either Portrait or Landscape. Really useful on some apps.

[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
The idea to add widgets into this thread aswell was an idea taken from Goku80 and I hope you lot like it.
So, the list in this post is strictly for widgets. I'll add some widgets myself as a base, but as always feel free to suggest some of your favorite widgets and they may make it into this list.
1. Beautiful Widgets - Beautiful set of Widgets containing clock widget, clock and weather widget, weather widgets, date widgets and toggle widgets with skins/themes support!
2. Fancy Widgets - Personalize your Android home screen with highly customizable clock widgets, weather widgets, home (clock & weather) widgets, forecast widgets, and more with lots of customization options.
3. Ultimate custom widget (UCCW) - If you enjoy customizing the look of your homescreen then this is pretty much a MUST HAVE app for you. It allows the user to create their own pure custom clocks with a near endless array of options to customize it how they'd like. However you want it, you can make it with UCCW.
4. Desktop VisualizeR - Here's another really useful widget if you love to customize your screens. This gives you the ability to make shortcuts and widgets with any image you specify, rather than just the default logos. You can also use this app to give apps a custom icon of your own, which is handy if your icon design doesn't currently exist.
5. Minimalistic Text - Minimalistic Text is a widget app that displays information in a minimalistic way. It can be configured to display time, date, battery and weather information. The layout of the widget is highly customizable throughout.
6. Eye In The Sky Weather - This is for all those who like their weather clean, simple and beautiful. The app includes 12 of the best weather icon sets and the ability to add your own icon sets.
[INFO]Must Have Apps For Galaxy SII
Due to popular demand via PMs, I've decided to add a slot to this thread to display some of the best games we can get on our Android device.
As with the app list above, if there's a great game you'd like to be added to this list, let me know and I may well add it in
1. Pool Break Lite - If you like to play pool, snooker, billiards etc. on the go then this is a great app you. There are a few different variations to play in either single player or multiplayer online mode and even more variations if you buy the pro version.
2. FIFA 12 - This game speaks for itself. It's the latest mobile version of the FIFA franchise and is easily the best so far, with it showing vast improvements. There's a load of different cups and leagues to play through and with great graphics with no lag in the slightest.
3. World Series Of Poker - Probably the best game from EA (in my opinion). If you like to play poker I totally recommend this game. You can play Texas Holdem and Omaha in either cash games, tournaments or play for a WSOP bracelet as the main prize. Guest mode is now available for no login from Facebook is needed.
4. iAssociate2 - This is a good choice if you prefer a bit of a brain tester. iAssociate2 is a word association game you have to figure out which words and phrases are associated to each other. Sound easy? Give it a try and you can soon find out differently.
5. Need For Speed Most Wanted - Another brilliant addition to the EA family, Most Wanted finally brings one of the best racing experiences to Android. It's a brilliant game all round but the only thing it's lacking, in my opinion, is 'free roam' mode. But apart from that, it brings brilliant graphics and flawless gameplay.
6. Grand Theft Auto III - Grand Theft Auto III was a crime game which changed the future of gaming and is amazing to play on the go with our Androids. The full console game with great graphics, full features and surprisingly no lag considering it's such a huge game. Countless hours of gameplay, HD quality resolution and visually stunning graphics make this a must for our devices.

Apps you must install on N7!

I have been playing with my N7 for a few weeks now and have just rooted it ( after realizing my cable wasn't fully pushed in after an hour of banging my head on brick wall).
Forgetting Facebook, G+, Twitter & Games what are the must have apps that should be downloaded to show off the N7.
I am thinking wi-fi killa, Pulse and any other apps that are truly used daily and really have the wow factor on the N7.
Thanks in advance for all the help I have got before joining the site.

Granny Smith is such an odd game. On paper you'd never think you'd like it but I've honestly replayed the entire game 4 times and counting now.. The replay ability is fantastic..
Whatsapp - Obviously this has to be side loaded but its so much better than on a phone!
... well, I've got an 8GB; so I figure that the most crucial apps to me would be the cloud ones (i.e., Google Drive @ 5GB free, SkyCloud @ 7GB free, Dropbox @ 3GB, and the pre-installed Google Play Music @ 20,000 songs free...)
As a perk, GrooVeIP Free (tablet to phone) is a true Wi-Fi Calling experience on top of the Google Voice app.

Because Gameloft tend not to optimise for Tegra 3 devices and most of their games are laggy. I've got a few Gameloft games and the main culprit of an unoptimized game is Amazing Spider-Man! Incredibly laggy. But some others work fine (for me at least), like Where's Wally Now, Asphalt Urban 7...

So I am with no rooted device and I use -
Castle clash - online game - build your city and attack others.
Nova Launcher - everyone knows it (change the look of your tablet)
SD Maid - clears my temporary files and other - like 2 GB for 6 months.
Silk Paints - it adds cool effects to your Spen.
ArtFlow - for drawing.

Lecture Notes
Here are some of the apps I use the most....
Apex Launcher - The first thing I do when I get a phone or tablet is install Apex. Complete control of over the number and size of icons that can be put on the screen. Many gestures available. Just a wonderful interactive experience that is consistent from phone to tablet.
Pebble - Yes, I have a Pebble watch and love it.
Drippler - This app is a news aggregate app that has news stories specific to the device on which it's installed.
Team Viewer - A remote control app to let me work on my PC from anywhere.
Groove IP - This app works in conjunction with Google Voice that lets me make/receive phone calls on my wifi-only Note. When a person calls my Google Voice number it rings on my phone, PC, tablet, home phone and office phone. Ironically, the tablet and PC start ringing about 3 seconds before the cell phone rings.
Google Voice - This is my main text messaging app.
Touchdown - Connects to my company's corporate Exchange email server.
Samsung Milk - Samsung's new music app that I really like. It's not in the Play Store for the Note so I had to search XDA forums for an APK download.
Chrome Beta browser - I just like it better since it easily syncs bookmarks with my desktop.
Timely - This is a clock replacement that I use for my alarm clock.
7
Auralux - This is a fascinating game that's very hard to explain. If you have Osmos then you kinda know what Auralux is like. Try it.
Pulse - Another news aggregater.
Droid of the Day - A daily app finder
Amazon app store - A paid app for free every day.
Fancy Widgets - Nobody has more weather widget skins than them. Most of them are very pretty.
PushBullet - It's the easiest way to pass links, text, etc. from device to device to PC. If you've been emailing links to yourself to get something from your PC to your tablet then you need PushBullet. It also has the side benefit of being able to display your Android notifications as fly-outs on your PC's Chrome browser. You won't need to pick up your phone/tablet to see what your phone/tablet is buzzing about.
Slice - I buy a lot of stuff online. Slice will parse through my email and keep me up to date on where that stuff is at in the supply chain. And, since it knows everything I bought I don't have to search my email to find a receipt if I want to buy the same thing again.
Wakelock Detector - If your battery is draining then this app will pinpoint which apps are waking up the CPU. Very handy.
Droid Over Wifi - Want to send/receive files to/from your tablet without plugging it into your PC? This is for you.
PicSpeed Wallpapers - This app has the most beautiful wallpapers around. They add dozens daily.
Wallpaper Changer - Combine this with PicSpeed and your background will never be boring.

Slice - I buy a lot of stuff online. Slice will parse through my email and keep me up to date on where that stuff is at in the supply chain. And, since it knows everything I bought I don't have to search my email to find a receipt if I want to buy the same thing again.
Wakelock Detector - If your battery is draining then this app will pinpoint which apps are waking up the CPU. Very handy.
Droid Over Wifi - Want to send/receive files to/from your tablet without plugging it into your PC? This is for you.
PicSpeed Wallpapers - This app has the most beautiful wallpapers around. They add dozens daily.
Wallpaper Changer - Combine this with PicSpeed and your background will never be boring.

Thanks very much I will try some of the apps (PicSpeed and Wallpaper Changer are installing right now).
Lecture notes, EzPDF, Kindle, Dolphin Browser and Tapatalk would be my top five if you don't count background apps like Nova Launcher and my clock widget.

I don't know how I forgot this app: Color Note.
It's probably the app I rely upon the most. It's a note taking app that I use strictly for checklists. I keep a list for the grocery store. I keep a list for Costco. I even keep a checklist for the things to take for a UCLA football tailgate party. I have dozens of list.
But the best part is that it's also a cloud app so that the lists are all synchronized between devices. It's also shared with my wife. I drive by Costco on the way home and when I stop there to get gas I look at the list to see if my wife has put anything on the Costco list. If so, I stop in and pick it up. I put things on the Trader Joe's list and she picks them up when she shops.
It's such a simple and wonderful app.
